A West Palm Beach man is challenging his dead father’s decision to leave $106,000 to the Salvation Army, according to a story on Law.com.

In a suit filed in U.S. District Court, the son of Richard Jose Belanger says that the money from a payable-upon-death account can not be paid to an entity or organization. The Florida Legislature intended for the accounts to be paid to individuals, said Richard Jason Belanger’s attorney John Cooney, who cited language in the statute that requires a beneficiary to be alive upon the account holder’s death.
